Even further dumbfounding to be unaware of the constant and pernicious efforts by so many to exploit divisions within the Democratic party.
That said, it could well be that many of these folks are, in fact, blissfully unaware of the power or influence of their advocacy, or either believe that publicly dragging their own party at critical times like these is more important than the unity that is essential in this closely divided balance of power.
After all, a unified Democratic membership in our national legislature is the ONLY thing that will ultimately influence the law and other important interests that republicans control the outcomes to right now.
I'm not interested in waiting for people like the Gaza disruptions in the middle of the campaign to come to the realization that only a unified Democratic majority would actually do something about their complaints.
It's confounding what people who refuse to support our legislators at times like these, and insist on agitating against our own party members instead of republicans, expect from that indulgence of theirs.
I mean, when does the support for our Democrats who are fighting happen from these folks? They act like it's some anathema to their interests to support the party, when it's everything in a pluralistic government.
Too many folks have either lost sight of those realities, never thought about it, or just don't care.
